4: Career—Five of Cups: You tend to regret the past in your career. I see you doing that most often in your work life. Kindly use this as a guideline to get over the past regrets and establish a happy work life balance.
5: Love—Six of Pentacles: Love will come easy to you. Your spouse is like a charitable person who gives you the charity of love whole heartedly and generously. You are one lucky person.
6: Spirituality—King of cups: You are truly an Emperor or a King. Both in terms of ambition and spirituality. You feel more spiritual than you act. I know that spirituality is a topic close to your heart and if not, then soon it will be one, considering your emotional quotient. Time you started working on this.
7: Travel—Seven of Cups: You will have abundant options to choose from when it comes to Travel. Prioritize your travel plans keeping in mind the other aspects of your life. Travel will happen frequently in your life time.
8: Dark Secrets/Fears/Hopes—Death: As the card’s name suggests, your biggest fear is Death. Questions regarding death hound you and make it your greatest fear. What kind of death will come unto me? What will happen to my family? What about my dream? The more you fear death, the more harsh and cruel it would get. Therefore let go. Befriend this formidable opponent and you will conquer your fear.
9: Knowledge/Creativity—Hierophant: Your best qualities are your leadership skills and listening skills. This makes for a successful Arian.
10: Family Background—Moon: Your family background has been disturbing with things like an early death in the family, loss of a loved one, an early separation between parents. These don’t create an impressionable family picture in your mind. But all of this can change. You don’t have to carry this baggage, just drop it now and move on.
Dear Emperor,
You are a powerful person and so is your card, the Emperor. The hunger for power and the power games that you often play to satiate this hunger is your only formidable opponent. You tend to take power way too seriously and hence my following observations:
The areas where I primarily need you to work based on the predictions made in this book, are Career and Wealth, the two aspects which hold you back this year. In order to better your prospects in these two areas, I recommend you perform the two exercises described below diligently and consistently till you make a habit of them.
Visualisation Meditation: In this form of meditation, you have to close your mind and quell the chattering in it. Then focus on what you want about your wealth or career. See it in your mind’s eye like a movie running in your head. Imagine receiving that cheque of a certain amount of money you need or your boss giving you that appraisal letter you deserve and desire. See yourself buying that beautiful home or imagine receiving that reward you deserve at your work place. See it with clarity. Initially, this will be difficult, but as you do it this exercise will become more interesting and a lot of fun. Five minutes of it every day and you will master your mind. Remember, what your mind perceives it can conceive. Through this exercise my attempt is to push your mind to tap its unexplored and latent potential. However, you will implement this with faith in what you see, in its potential to actually come true, and it will surely become the reality you wish for.
The Master Key System: ‘The Master Key System’ by Charles F. Haanel. This is a remarkable book that will teach you all that I have written under point A above. Charles Haanel suggests a daily exercise to improve your visualization skill, thereby improving your belief system and faith. After all, everything boils down to faith. This book is like a school catalogue emphasising the steps to be performed for your own good. Do read this book and most of your worries will be resolved. After you have finished this, you can read the book, ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace D. Wattles. This is another beautiful book emphasizing the power of the law of attraction. However, you need to read this only after you have read ‘Master Key System’.
I had suggested this book to a very young patron of my Tarot Reading service. He was an aspiring actor and wanted to become a big name in the industry. He would come to me very often with his apprehensions and doubts regarding his choice of career. This had to be considering how highly qualified he was and the kind of stable and successful job that he had given up to follow his dream. My sessions with him were initially limited to readings, but as time passed I realised he needed more than mere predictions. He had the vision, but lacked the direction to achieve the vision. I recommended this book to him. Knowing how sincere he was, I was certain he would follow anything, especially something as good as the above mentioned book. He did what was written by Charles Haanel and called me a couple of times to inform me about his progress. It was some time before I heard from him again; when he called, it was to inform me that he had become a TV actor and had bagged his first big role in an upcoming movie. Well, he did achieve his dream and is now working on bigger projects. I wished him luck. I knew the book and the meditation technique had worked.
If you too do as I have asked you to, you will soon get what you’ve always wanted. This is a tried and tested technique which I know has always been successful. Your story will only reaffirm its power to make the impossible happen. If you wish to share your experiences on performing these exercises or have queries, do write to me at [email protected] and I’ll be happy to help.
Go forth and unleash the power within you and as you read the next chapter it will reveal two such powerful personalities who have been successful Emperors in their life. You too are an Emperor and the next chapter will only reaffirm the real life powers that you as an Emperor have.
As the Emperor, your primary job is to lead, to show the way. You are the King, the ruler who rules by example. As the King, you are the epitome of power and a figure of majesty and courage. In my experience as a Tarot Card Reader and Counsellor, I have interacted with a few Emperors but in this chapter I would like to refer to two personalities who I believe are the perfect examples of the Emperor card. Besides the above qualities, these two celebrities hold their enviable positions in real life due to their focus, dedication and, of course, their personality type.
My first pick for the Emperor Card is Ajay Devgn, one of the finest and most talented actors we have known in Bollywood. However, neither did he start off that way nor was he born with the proverbial silver spoon. Ajay Devgn has worked his way up to his success and to the position that he holds today. When he started his career, people ridiculed him for not having the stereotypical looks of a hero. We also questioned his acting as he was better known as the son of a stuntman and therefore was branded as one himself. We resigned to this concept of his being good at stunts and nothing more. But little did we know that one day this actor would rule our hearts through his work, like the Emperor. He has worked hard with full dedication to get to where he is today. With critically acclaimed awards and commercially successful movies to back him, there is no turning back for this Emperor. His courage, dedication and persistence have catapulted him to the top. Today he is a top grosser with phenomenal hits in his oeuvre. An Emperor is known by the courage and valour he exhibits. Ajay Devgn has done so through his persistent work and by taking criticism positively. He has transformed himself to achieve this success. Achieving success could be easy but sustaining it is another game altogether. An Emperor is known for his ability to do so and his will to fight. Ajay Devgn has proven himself as a fighter and has sustained his position through resilience and passion. This makes him my pick for the Emperor card.
My second pick for the Emperor card is Lady Gaga. The name resonates with confidence and the courage to comfortably pull off something out of the ordinary. She rules in her genre
